Carbon Cap & Scam Ping - (POGW)

Paul Krugman may have won a nobel prize for economics but when it comes to politics, his writings aren't even worthy of a booby prize.
Yesterday, The New York Times columnist had this to say about opponents of the climate change bill:
"So the House passed the Waxman-Markey climate-change bill. In political terms, it was a remarkable achievement. But 212 representatives voted no. A handful of these no votes came from representatives who considered the bill too weak, but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do something about greenhouse gases. And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn't help thinking that I was watching a form of treason - treason against the planet."
Krugman never once considers the idea that many of us who oppose cap and trade are actually from another planet and could care less about the $1800 average increase in energy costs to American families.
It is not treason against earth if my loyalty is to the planet Riasa. My reasons for opposing cap and trade is that it is going to spur migration out of the United States and who knows where those people may end up? We Riasans are worried that cap and trade will mean increased illegal immigration to our beautiful planet.
So I wish Paul Krugman would be more careful in throwing around the word "treason." On Riasa, those who falsely accuse their political opponents are punished by being forced to Narfle the Garthok. Such a challenge is great sport and has the added benefit of giving the Garthoks something to do besides eating us Riasans.
For you earthlings, Tom Maguire supplies the necessary verbal spanking to Krugman:
"Paul Krugman celebrates his Nobel Prize in Polemics by declaring that all those who disagree with him on global warming are traitors to the planet. No, I am not sure what that means either, but it certainly sets a high rhetorical bar - presumably those who disagree with him on health care reform are traitors to humanity, but what about those who disagree with him on the wisdom of nationalizing Citicorp? Are we merely traitors to our debit cards, or does Krugman contemplate a more dramatic charge?"
It says something about the Nobel committee that they would take anything this man writes seriously.
*raises hand* Proud to be a traitor against the Earth...right here!
Guilty as charged. I like keeping my AC at 68 degrees.
So Krugman thinks he's God? That's a little too crazy for most of us...
LOL! It used to be that I just disagreed with dems, now I think they have gone stark raving mad.

Supporters of the carbon cap-and-tax are traitors to the entire human race.
Krugman can take the cap-and-tax and stuff the legislation up his nether regions, where it belongs.
Supporters of such non-sense are traitors to mankind, and to reason.
No thinking any more... I know for sure..
Ah man! Pamela Anderson is going to be Sooooooo disappointed!

I happen to think that Greenland (part of Mother Earth) deserves to be thawed out. Krugman obviously does not. His lack of mercy is rather hateful, I must say.
In Krugman’s honor, I think I’ll go have a bonfire with old tires and coal.
Pauly's knickers were in such a twist that I laughed out loud.
If Paul and any dim witted dem including the great one himself was SERIOUS about the enviroment and its care, then they would promote its care by providing insentives.
How about tax reductions?
What a flippin’ asshat!
I too, am a traitor to the earth, and also a terrorist, according to Janet Nappylito..
Smart money says he’s heavily invested in carbon credits.
